    CLEVELAND, Ohio - City Council plans to sort through curbside trash to make sure residents are recycling - and fine them $100 if they don't.

    The move is part of a high-tech collection system the city will roll out next year with new trash and recycling carts embedded with radio frequency identification chips and bar codes. The chips will allow city workers to monitor how often residents roll carts to the curb for collection. If a chip show a recyclable cart hasn't been brought to the curb in weeks, a trash supervisor will sort through the trash for recyclables.

    Trash carts containing more than 10 percent recyclable material could lead to a $100 fine, according to Waste Collection Commissioner Ronnie Owens. Recyclables include glass, metal cans, plastic bottles, paper and cardboard.

    City Council approved spending $2.5 million on high-tech carts for 25,000 households across the city, expanding a pilot program that began in 2007 with 15,000 households. The expansion will continue at 25,000 households a year until nearly all of the city's 150,000 residences are included. Existing carts might be retrofitted with the microchips.

    The chip-embedded carts are just starting to catch on elsewhere. The Washington, D.C. suburb of Alexandria, Va., earlier this year announced it would issue carts to check whether people are recycling.

    Some cities in England have used the high-tech trash carts for several years to weigh how much garbage people throw out. People are charged extra for exceeding allotted limits.

    this shit's getting serious




    but, recycling DOES help the environment. If you know you use a lot of paper and plastic, recycle that shit so it can be used again.

    RFIDs = sign of the apocalypse.

    Mark of the beast...!!:twisted:


    And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

    the movie shit is real, son

    where the guy is on the run, but has an implant in his neck or something, and has to get some black-market doctor to surgically remove it

    it's amazing how movies foretell the future

    Thinking about my neighbor who has a party like every weekend. On Monday, recycle day, is alway bins of Heineken bottles. They would probably hide in his bushes to see why he is recycling so much. Just a big partier who recyles after. :p

    It's called Predictive Programming.

    Predictive Programming is the power of suggestion using the media of fiction to create a desired outcome. It is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already familiarized with them and will accept them as "natural progressions", as author Alan Watt calls it; thus lessening any possible public resistance and commotion.

    I will post more about this later after I research more on this topic.

    I'm all for being a good steward of the earth and all but I gotta' say...it starts here. Soon we'll be told that we can't wear red on Thursdays and no eating salt & vinegar chips on Friday. Hold on to your hats folks, big brother is near. And by near I mean the shadow that you think is yours, is not your own.
